Rochas Okorocha
There was a mild drama on Sunday at Sam Mbakwe cargo airport involving Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, Obi of Obinugwu ancient kingdom in Orlu LGA of Imo State, and Senator Rochas Okorocha, Senator representing Imo West senatorial district in the National Assembly, aboard Air Peace flight to Abuja this morning.
According to reports, the Royal Father, a former chairman of Imo State Council of Ndi Eze as well as chairman Southeast council of traditional rulers, accosted Senator Rochas Okorocha sitting close to him, exploding with so much rage and royal anger.
What started as a mild altercation all of a sudden snowballed into a full-fledged confrontation inside the aircraft, as the popular royal father descended on Okorocha with his walking stick.

The timely intervention of the flight captain who rushed out when Eze Ilomuanya was hitting Okorocha with his royal walking stick saved the day.
The embattled former Governor was later relocated to another seat even as Eze Ilomuanya was heard warning him to stay away from Orlu if he truly wants peace to reign.
It may be recalled that Eze Ilomuanya was removed from office by Okorocha during his reign as Imo State governor and subsequently installed another in his place as a traditional ruler. Since then, the bad blood between the duo can only be imagined.
